Maybe you can find some time to sit down and relax from preparing the festivities for the holidays and read among other things the interesting interviews that Bill Crossland and Paul Walker have provided. I have also taken the liberty to write a little personal memoir (see the supplement) while I am getting close to retiring as editor. We, the ICA, are still looking for someone who can take over the job of keeping the magazine going in whatever shape or form it may take in the future. The new editor does not necessarily have to do everything as I have done it. Every editor can put his or her own stamp on the publication. With the regular contributions coming in as they do now the life of the editor is not as difficult as it may look. Do contact me or anyone else on the committee if you are interested but uncertain as to whether you could do it. I wish you all the best for 2019 and remember as always that all contributions are welcome. Your editor Pauline de Snoo - NEXT DEADLINE 15 February 2019. - Subscription renewals for 2019 see page 35. - Vacancies (replacing present officers): Editor Concertina World Concertina World 476 editor: Pauline de Snoo © 10-12-2018 2 A Message from the Chairman Paul McCann I have been having a look at our membership data, with some interesting results! Certainly we are more “International” than we used to be: although 84% of the membership is UK-based, 17 other countries are now represented. We have 10% of our members in North America, compared with 5% in Europe. Of course this may reflect cultural and historical ties between North American, British and Irish music traditions. However, we have only 2 members in the Irish Republic, and both of these list “English” as their main system played. This means that the huge Irish concertina tradition is completely unrepresented in our membership today! How can we reach out to these players and make the ICA relevant to them? According to our records, 69% of members are male, 31% female. I was a little bit surprised by this as I meet many female concertina players at concertina events and festivals, and so I expected a more even gender balance. Presumably many of these ladies are not yet ICA members! I wonder why there is this imbalance, and whether it’s representative of the wider concertina community. Of those who identify a main system played, 67% play English, 24% Anglo and 9% Duet systems of various kinds. An impressive 35 or so play more than one system, and a very impressive 5 members list a third system! Not to mention other instruments, of course. The range of musical interests represented in our membership is very diverse, though various folk traditions and “classical” or “band playing” are probably the most popular genres. Don’t forget that the ICA Library has the world’s largest collection of music written or arranged for concertina, and it is all available exclusively to members. Turning to our ICA “vacancies”, we now have a volunteer to take over the audit role from John Wild. Rosemary Kavanagh (known to some of you through the West Country players) will take over from John after the audit of the 2018 accounts. She will be formally proposed to members at the 2019 AGM. Many thanks to Rosemary for taking this on. Concertina World 476 editor: Pauline de Snoo © 10-12-2018 3 Our other appeal for help with the magazine and social media remains open. If you can help, have any relevant expertise, or know someone who does, please do get in touch with me or any committee member as soon as possible! You can contact me at [email protected] or on 07947-217840 As we approach the end of 2018 it just remains for me to thank you for your continued membership and support, and wish you a safe, enjoyable and peaceful winter and all the best for 2019. Happy Squeezing! Delivery of Concertina World (Note from Roger Gawley) We may have given some members the idea that there are plans to discontinue Concertina World as a printed-and-posted magazine. This impression is not correct. There is no proposal to stop printing Concertina World and mailing it to members who wish to receive it in that way. Several members have asked about the possibility of electronic delivery of Concertina World. At present our efforts are concentrated on recruiting an editorial team to carry on when the present editor hands over. Once that is in place, we may consider ways in which Concertina World could be delivered to those members who prefer an electronic version as well as those who prefer to see it in print. <> Concertina World 476 editor: Pauline de Snoo © 10-12-2018 4 INTERNET VIDEO JUKEBOX 18 INTERNET VIDEO JUKEBOX 18 Compiled by Paul Walker For speedy access: Go to the ICA web site where Michel van der Meiren, our ace Webmaster, has turned the hyperlinks into a stunning TV-like slideshow.

Born in East County Clare, a part of Ireland renowned for traditional music, Hayes is lauded for his distinctly lyrical style.

  • Sunspot Concerts at the Lyceum Furnace Mountain Martin Hayes
    Sunspot Concerts at the Lyceum Furnace Mountain Saturday, March 20, 2010, 8 PM $18 advance/$21 door Furnace Mountain, named after the tallest peak of the Catoctin Mountains, is a quartet of traditional musicians who play the music of the Virginia countryside and mountains. Dave Van Deventer (fiddle) and Danny Knicely (mandolin & guitar) front the instrumental side of things, while vocalists Morgan Morrison (bouzouki) and Aimee Curl (bass) layer in a stunning mix of the earthy and ethereal. Their music is at times lively and raucous, with spirited fiddle melodies weaving in and around the powerful rhythms of the bass and bouzouki. At other times it is poignant and poetic, with sublime vocal harmonies beautifully interpreting some of the oldest songs ever written. They’ve just released a new CD, Fields of Fescue. www.furnacemountain.com. Martin Hayes & Dennis Cahill Saturday, April 10, 2010, 8 PM $26 advance/$30 door Martin Hayes has drawn musical inspiration from sources as diverse as the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, the Spanish viola da gamba master Jordi Savall and the jazz genius John Coltrane to create his own signature style of Irish fiddle music. Still, he remains grounded in the music he grew up with in his own locality, Maghera, Feakle, East County Clare.

  • Melodic Identity and Tune Resemblance Karen E. Mcaulay
    1 ABSTRACTS (grouped by session) Session 1: Melodic Identity and Tune Resemblance Karen E. McAulay (Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Glasgow) ‘All the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order’*: Musical Resemblances over the Border The appealing Northumbrian pipe-tune, “I saw my love come passing by me”, appears in at least three nineteenth century sources, and again in Cock’s Tutor for the Northumbrian Half-Long Bagpipes. The latest two of these are shorter, whilst the first two elaborate the tune with variations. Nonetheless, the resemblances are clear; their kinship is indisputable. However, there are two much earlier appearances of similar tunes in publications north of the border. A century older, each has a different title, and although the shapes of these tunes are undeniably similar, they are certainly neither identical forerunners to one another, nor to “I saw my love”. Indeed, one source was linked in 1925 to a totally different tune. Notwithstanding this earlier identification, I dispute the similarity, and propose that there is some kind of link between “I saw my love” and her earlier Scottish cousins. Whilst the Tune Archive enabled me to trace the iterations of the Border tunes, it failed to flag up these Scottish tunes as potential relatives, partly because their rhythmic notation means the Theme Code index failed to pick up the same strong beats. I propose to demonstrate the methodology I have adopted to attempt to prove my hypothesis. If I’m right, it suggests that before I saw my love come passing by me, she had enjoyed a bit of a shadowy Celtic past.

  • Caoimhín Mac Aoidh on Regional Irish Fiddle Styles
    20/03/2018, 0018 Page 1 of 1 Translate this page to French Go Translation by GO! Network Caoimhín Mac Aoidh on Regional Irish Fiddle Styles REPRODUCED BY PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR: By all means feel free to use the article at the site. The only thing you need to point out is that the article is now at least 20 years old and was originally published in Vol. 1 of An Fhidil Ghaelach (now out of print).—Caoimhín Mac Aoidh Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 1 Approximately 90 years ago the Irish language was spoken without break along the entire southern western and northern coastline and as far inland as County Roscommon (Irish Language Survey of 1891). At this time the Irish of these areas, dialectically speaking, gradually flowed into one another, thus making distinct dialects along a continuous transverse section almost undetectable. A language can be simply defined as a highly organised series of sounds and it is important to note that music, and in this case traditional Irish dance music, also fits well with this definition. I feel that both language and music are reflective of their practitioners or creators. Northerners to me generally are straightforward people in their humour and speech. Their music is usually straightforward as well; their song, ornamentally, is also. The Ulster dialect of Irish is often referred to as bland or flat. The music of the more southern counties, as regards their sound, and Irish dialects are significantly lighter in nature. A link between the music and the language is herein implied.

  • Trad Ireland / Traid Éireann Future of Media Commission
    Submission by Trad Ireland / Traid Éireann Future of Media Commission 8 January 2021 About Trad Ireland / Traid Éireann Trad Ireland's mission is to promote the traditional arts throughout the island of Ireland and support practitioners through advocacy and expanding career opportunities. Established in 2018 by traditional artists Tristan Rosenstock and Oisín Mac Diarmada, we have successfully curated several projects and initiatives which have developed audiences, created opportunities for artists, and enhanced our understanding of the traditional arts community through a major piece of research. The report Navigating the Traditional Arts Sector in Ireland: A Report on Resources, Challenges, and Opportunities, written by Jack Talty and funded by The Arts Council, was launched by renowned fiddler Martin Hayes in December 2020 and a section 2.2 of that report focuses on the media (see below). Trad Ireland also offers support and facilitates peer-support through our annual gathering TradTalk, which gives voice to the community, harnessing the energy & ideas of the sector into a strategy for future renewal. Other recent initiatives include 20/20 Visionaries, which saw twenty leading traditional artists create online audio-visual content celebrating a figure or a source of inspiration. The series was funded by Culture Ireland and featured the likes of Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh (Altan), Peter O’Toole (Hothouse Flowers), and Fergal Scahill (We Banjo 3). Note: The term “traditional arts” covers traditional music, song, and dance. Causes of concern The aforementioned report Navigating the Traditional Arts Sector in Ireland: A Report on Resources, Challenges, and Opportunities brings together the voices of leading figures within the traditional arts community.
